A Classical Introduction to Cryptography: Applications for
Communications Security introduces fundamentals of information and
communication security by providing appropriate mathematical concepts to
prove or break the security of cryptographic schemes. This
advanced-level textbook covers conventional cryptographic primitives and
cryptanalysis of these primitives; basic algebra and number theory for
cryptologists; public key cryptography and cryptanalysis of these
schemes; and other cryptographic protocols, e.g. secret sharing,
zero-knowledge proofs and undeniable signature schemes. A Classical
Introduction to Cryptography: Applications for Communications Security
is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level students in
computer science. This book is also suitable for researchers and
practitioners in industry. A separate exercise/solution booklet is
available as well, please go to www.springeronline.com under author:
